Very impressive. Mine is four 2 foot PVC pipes with string connecting them, looks like a ladder. Cost about $6. I think DumpsterDiver may have been confused by the first pics, as I was, which has the last bar going over the tank necks. Didn't get the point of that since they're bungeed, and...

Rope Splicing - eHow.com for three stranded rope. the connection tightens on itself as it's weighted, very strong. unravel a few inches from each end, stick them together, weave in the ends on the left side, then weave in the ends on the right side. a boy scout can show you. is sisal really...

3 mil will be plenty. I dive a shorty during the day and a 3/2 fullsuit at night. (similar to you I'm used to chilly temps, from NC). this site may help you find and decide on some shore diving spots. ShoreDiving.com - Your Scuba Shore Diving and Snorkeling Web Community! on Sunday swells were...

Mine is on my right shoulder and can be seen in my avatar. A Great White going up and a Mako going downwards, designed by a former intern, kind of a yin/yang, power/speed kind of thing. I prefer greyscale over color tats so no dive flags in the future, but maybe the Southern Cross constellation...

Yea I intend to remove the valves, which I've never done before, that's why I wanted to cover every precaution. Just thought it was weird that one had a lot of condensation on the outside, but the explanation makes sense. Thanks!

I'm in the process of bleeding dry two steel 100 tanks. The one that started out full is building up a lot of condensation while the other one (started at 1500 psi) has none. The valves are both opened only very little. Is the condensation a problem? Any fixes, or anything I need to do before...

Down Under in Cary NC usually does a pool day at the very large triangle athletic center pool in April. 919-852-5333 they're very helpful

I dove this morning, likely the same club outing as scottyd. My computer read 49 degrees though, at 52 feet. Wish I hadn't sold my drysuit a few years back.

I intend to move to O'ahu (from NC) next summer and have some questions about getting my 2 steel 100s there. I'm looking for the best approach, i.e. is USPS or UPS or Fedex cheapest, what cost should I expect, how do I pack them (I know to depressurize and remove valve, but should I box them...

Any experiences/feedback on this item? I got a Princeton tec aqua strobe last year and after the first ocean dive (the top was on right) it flooded. ACR Products thanks, Luke

I didnt read the whole thread sorry if this is a repeat. Back to the OPs bungeed wrist mounts, I just home made one for my compass and one for my computer. Each uses a single cord threaded to create two loops, with a big knot tied inside the console at the half way point so if one is cut, the...

I second the above statement. My favorite NC operator.

Glad you enjoyed it. That was also my first ocean dive, same conditions, a few years ago. You're in for some good times.

got me an answer direct from the source. very impressed with their customer service. Hello Luke, Your ZX 50-D uses a 90 durometer 111 O-ring on the inlet of the DIN bolt. Your Zeagle Dealer will have them in stock if he services Zeagle regulators there, because every 345-1000...

156 posts. impressive. patagonia baggies or columbia water shorts are where it's at

thanks guys. i have a zeagle 50d and just want to make sure my spare parts kit is sufficient.

Does the average "save a dive" O-ring kit include DIN-specific ones? My last one didn't because it was a small box of them, but neither ST nor LP et al mention in their product descriptions whethere they're included. Anyone know of a DIN-specific o-ring kit and where to get it? Thanks, Luke

"spring heels" means steel spring straps on open-heel fins which make it easier to put them on. some fins come standard with them, others need their rubber strap replaced by them. very useful, but if you'll be using full-foot fins, you can ignore all of this. +1 for mares x-vision. deep tear...

I keep SPG on left HP port/ left hip dring (as is standard) as back up, and the transmitter for my VT pro on right HP port, though I wear the computer on my left wrist (like all my watches). 2 inches left or right for the transmitter won't make a difference. The SPG incl. my compass, so for me I...

well written. even a low vis quarry at least has a chance for the unexpected creature popping out of nowhere, which can be exciting enough.
